Linux Mint Fluxbox9

Linux Mint is proud to announce the release of Linux Mint 5 'Elyssa' Fluxbox Community edition. This edition, maintained by Shane Joe Lazar, brings you the best and most essential tools from the Main and Xfce editions on top of an extremely thin desktop and the lightweight Fluxbox window manager. New features: auto-generated and auto-updating Fluxbox menu, multimedia compatibility with all available codecs and plugins pre-installed, Thunar custom actions, better language and localization support, and attractive themes with a predominant green bias.

Linux Mint Fluxbox is a special edition of the popular Linux Mint operating system, this time built around the minimal Fluxbox window manager. It’s a community-derived Linux Mint flavor designed for computers with old and semi-old hardware components.

Contains software packages optimized for 32-bit hardware platforms

The Fluxbox edition of Linux Mint is distributed as a Live CD ISO image that contains software packages optimized for 32-bit (i386) hardware platforms, despite the fact that it is bootable on 64-bit computers.

The live system starts automatically

The Live CD has been engineered to automatically start the live system in ten seconds from the moment the user boots the ISO image from the BIOS of a PC. Advanced boot options can be accessed by pressing any key during the 10--second timeout.

Default boot options include the ability to start the live system with default settings or in safe graphics mode, perform a memory test, check the disc for defects (only if using a CD media) or boot an existing OS from the local drive.

Fluxbox features an auto-updating and auto-generated menu

Besides Linux Mint goodness like mintInstall, mintWifi, mintUpdate, mintAssistant, mintUpload, mintBackup, mintConfig and mintDesktop, this special edition comes with the lightweight and minimal Fluxbox window manager, which features an auto-updating and auto-generated menu and a panel located on the bottom edge of the screen.
